Apple Cider Donut Bundt Cake

This recipe is modified from the Apple Cider Donut Bundt Cake in Country Living, October 2022, pg. 85 to be gluten free and use less sugar. It was also cut in half for a smaller portion and apples added to it. To make the full batch, double all of the ingredients listed below.

6 tbs butter, melted
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 cup apple cider
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
4 apples, peeled and diced


Cinnamon sugar:
1 tbs butter
2 tbs coconut sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon


Preheat oven to 350. Butter or spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix butter, coconut sugar, cider, applesauce, vanilla and egg. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon.
Add to the applesauce mixture.

Transfer 1/2 the batter to a prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle the diced apples on top. Cover the apples with the rest of the batter. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes and remove from pan.

For the topping, melt 1 tbs butter and brush it on the top of the bundt cake.
Combine the 2 tbs coconut sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle on the top of the bundt cake.
